Re: Custom theme options

Just put these {"good","bad","ugly"} options into the right field of your second picture, and you should be set. :)

Hi Oleg. I went back to try your beta plugin but I must be doing something wrong. What type ‘input control’ I should choose for my “weather” example ? I’ve tried with all of them but I don’t see my options that I set.

The steps I do to create ‘wheather’ variable are these:
1. I go ‘Prefalizer’ tab and create a new variable called ‘wheater’ with these values:
Name: wheater
Value:
Visibility: hidden
Event: variable
Input control: etc_input_radioset (also I’ve tried with other controls but no success)
User:
Position: 101
Actions

2. I go ‘Variables’ tab and put {"a":"good","b":"bad","c":"ugly"} in the textarea of right belonging to ‘wheater’ variable I’ve created in the previous step.

3. I don’t see any change :|

Neither, I fail to understand why to put the preset values in a screen where the user could be able change them.
I’m sure I’m doing wrongly.

Re: Custom theme options

Sorry, Fernando, there was an annoying glitch in my code, now fixed. Please re-download and try again (still for testing only).

You are right, and that’s what the plugins help says. I’ve put them there only for testing commodity, but they are visible to admins only.

Yes. Now it’s working :)

Ok, welcome the explanation. I asked just in case. Let me know if I can help in some way.
Thanks a lot for this beta plugin.
Best regards.

Re: Custom theme options

Glad it works, tell me if it’s ok to let the admins modify options in the same tab.

Re: Custom theme options

Hi Oleg. I think it’s ok. The only thing I’d add is an extra field to input a short description, but so far it’s enough for me. Thanks so much.

Hi Fernando, you are welcome. Maybe, you can use title and/or placeholder attributes of etc_input_generic parameters:

{"type":"date","title":"Please pick a date"}

If it’s ok, I can add them to other (select, radio, textarea, …) input types.

It sounds great! It will be a pleasure to test it. :)

Re: Custom theme options

I have started to work on it, not finished yet, but found a little bug, corrected now. It is also possible to give meaningful titles to the variables in this version.
